America in the mid-1980s. In the midst of the AIDS crisis and a conservative Reagan administration, six New Yorkers with interconnected lives grapple with life and death, love and sex, heaven and hell.

In its first collaboration with Kitchen Theatre Company’s Kitchen Sink series, Theatre Incognita is proud to present Tony Kushner’s Angels in America, Pt 1: Millennium Approaches.

Incognita’s production opens Friday March 27 and plays through Sunday April 5. Evenings are at 7 pm with two Sunday matinees at 2 pm. Tickets are $30 general and $15 students. Wednesday April 1 is Discount Night ($20/$10.) Pay what you wish tickets are available at the door an hour before showtime. Purchase tickets at kitchentheatre.org.

Kushner’s epic two-part drama about AIDS, queer life, national politics, and so much more, received the 1993 Pulitzer, as well as the Tony Award for Best Play (as did its 2017 revival). Widely perceived as one of the greatest plays of the later 20th century, in it’s still young 35 year history, Angels continues to astonish and reverberate.

Incognita’s cast is led by Seth Koproski as Prior Walter, Daniel S. Baruch as Louis, Eric Hambury as Joe, Elizabeth Seldin as Harper, Erik Lucas as Roy Cohn, McDonald Morris as Belize, Karen Veaner as Hannah/Ethel Rosenberg, and Meg Elliott as the Angel and others. Completing the cast are local favorites G-Quan Booker, Lindsey Cahoon, Cortney “CJ” Johnson, and Andrew Hertzberg.

Artistic Director Ross Haarstad stages the production, joined by Oliver Canales Greenwood as Scenic and Lighting Designer, Sarah Marks Bechtel as Costume Designer and Zeke A.B. Lawrence as Sound Designer. Priscilla Hummel serves as Intimacy Director.
